Have '98 Dodge Neon, 200,000 miles. Just had muffler replaced. Ten minutes driving from muffler shop, engine blowing oil from passenger side of engine. Oil filter and filler plug still tight. No oil leak prior to muffler repair (muffler had a hole in it.) Any thoughts if oil leak connected to muffler repair or where oil leak from?

There will be no connection to the muffler replacement, you will have to wash the engine down and run, check for the fresh leak, it should be fairly easy to see, report what you find for further assistance.
